Is the plastic BPA free?

I was concerned about this too. Apparently, none of the Japanese bento makers use polycarbonate, the plastic that BPA is found in. Here's a good link to all things bento: http://justbento.com/handbook/bento-basics/what-are-japanese-plastic-bento-boxes-made-of. And here's the buying-guide to plastics: http://www.thegreenguide.com/buying-guide/plastic-containers I've just emailed Zojirushi directly - I'll post their response as soon as I receive it.

I called the company and was told that all plastic in the kettle is BPA-free. Glad there are others who are concerned about this as well :)

Yes it is BPA free. I checked with OXO and they assured me that consumers' safety is a top priority during the development of their products and therefore all their products are BPA and PVC free.

At least when I purchased it .... It said it was BPA free. Ps. I still have mine. And LOVE it!

I checked, and I cant find anywhere where it says BPA free, so Im going to assume its not BPA free.

Sorry, I really don't know other than it is BPA free. You might want to contact the company.

I don't know if it says it on the label because I no longer have it. However, I checked the product, and did not find BPA free on it.

Plastic--I never saw a BPA Free label or statement on it, but it could be. Best to contact the manufacturer about that.

I can't see anything on the box or the manual suggesting that it is BPA free. I also couldn't find anything online, sorry. It is approved by the FDA though :)

I do not think so. Being BPA free was not in the description for the product.

Perhaps you could contact the manufacturer to find out. It might say somewhere on the packaging but we threw that out a long time ago. I'm really not sure if its BPA free.

I do not know for sure, but I am fairly certain that nothing on it or it's packaging said it was BPA free.

People, BPA-free is a meaningless term. It only means that the plastic is most likely BPS plastic, which is equally a health concern.

I'm not sure, but it's bpa free plastic and they've been working really well for me. Large containers!

No, Do not know...I am guessing that if it is not listed as BPA free in the marketing materials then it is not.

I don't think so, otherwise I would have not bought it. Now a day I believe no product made from plastic contain bpa. I have been very pleased with my purchase.
